Unfortunate Announcement
As you probably guessed with me not showing up today for my usual chipper back-and-forth, I haven't been feeling well. Depending on how I feel over the next few days, I may have to temporarily shelve this, much as I really, really like you all, and would hate to do so. The premade contest will continue to run and I will pick a winner on the 20th, however things won't really get started until I can get this all under control. I launched the shop at this time thinking I finally had everything under control, and that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'd love to run a shop, but I'm thinking it's going to have to be simpler than this while I get better. I'm still not over everything. I'm thinking of bringing Mob (the ol' meerkat shop o' mine) back in a seriously altered form so I have something to play around with (I would simplify the lines and everything so that it was as un-stressful as possible.)
I'm really sorry. I started off with a bang and then fizzled very quickly - this has gone over a lot worse than I anticipated. I'm so sorry to those of you who have put so much work into quest threads and will have to wait on those characters for now. I know how frustrating it is to get into something and then have this happen.
